Drug Addiction

Prokopton wrote: You cannot "think" or "group support" your way out of addiction because physiology is a strong component of substance and behavioral addiction. A holistic approach works best when all the components of addiction are addressed: emotional, mental, physiological and spiritual.

This video will only discuss the physiological cause of cocaine addiction. So, if you've tried methadone, gone to support groups and they didn't help, try the physiological approach. Here's a very well written book on the physiology of drug addiction. I'll read a few lines from it.

I have taken Ritalin as well, and I couldn't sleep or eat. Ever since I have been smoking marijuana I can concentrate, eat, and sleep better. Stick to the natural side of life, not unnatural government made drugs.

Hey, it's Cheyenne. We've had many questions about overcoming substance addiction without using methadone. To some, methadone is using a drug to treat a drug addiction, and some find it very addictive.

There are many treatment options available, such as residential treatment and group support. Many relapse after they leave the controlled environment of residential treatment. Others fail with group support because sometimes you can't talk yourself out of an addiction. There are physiological aspects that need to be addressed.
